"Normal" automatic mode


Select position D
.

"D"
appears in the instrument panel
screen.
The gearbox then operates in automatic
mode, without any action on the part of
the driver.
To optimise driving comfort and obtain the
most suitable gear, avoid sharp variations
in the pressure on the accelerator pedal.

"Temporary" manual mode
In automatic mode, you can take control
temporarily at any time using the steering
mounted controls.
The use of these controls permits man-
ual selection of the gears in situations
which require a faster change down
than that offered in automatic mode
(arrival at a roundabout, exit from a
car park with a steep gradient, overtak-
ing...).
The gearbox engages the gear re-
quested if the engine speed permits it.
The gear engaged appears.
To return to the automatic mode, press
the back of the "+/OFF"
control for at
least 2 seconds.



"Sport" automatic mode

From automatic mode, you can engage
"Sport" mode.
With the vehicle moving or stationary,
push the thumb wheel A
forward.

"SPORT"
appears in the instrument
panel screen.

Switching off "Sport" automatic mode
You can return to "Normal" automatic
mode at any time:
Push the thumbwheel A
rearward
once.
Before switching off the engine, you
must engage position P
or N
to place
the gearbox in neutral.
You must apply the parking brake to im-
mobilise the vehicle.
The gear lever must be in position P
to
remove the ignition key.
Stopping the vehicle
Hill start assist
To assist you when starting on a gradi-
ent, your vehicle is fi tted with a system
which immobilises it briefl y (approxi-
mately 2 seconds), the time required to
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal. This function is
only active when the vehicle has been
completely immobilised with your foot
on the brake pedal and on certain gra-
dients.

Do not get out of the vehicle during
the hill start assist temporary immo-
bilisation phase.

To immobilise the vehicle on a gradient
for a longer period, you must use the
parking brake, not the accelerator.
When starting on a gradient, accelerate
gradually while releasing the parking
brake.
